Mexico Lindo: World's Largest Mariachi Band, Another Guinness Record
Just one day after breaking the world record for largest public Thriller dance, Mexico takes another world record! The largest mariachi band world record goes to Guadalajara, Jalisco, México! Órale! Viva Mexico Cabrones!

Guadalajara, in the Mexican state of Jalisco, on Sunday entered the Guinness Book of World Records for having the world’s biggest mariachi band.
A total of 549 musicians played for just over ten minutes in the square in front of the Cabanas Cultural Institute in Guadalajara, the birthplace of the distinctive mariachi music style. The old record belonged to 520 mariachis who performed in San Antonio, Texas, in 2007.
They closed with traditional mariachi favorites, Cielito Lindo and ” Guadalajara.”
Mexico also boasted the world's biggest cheesecake and group kiss earlier this year.
Now, if we could just get the same mass enthusiasm and participation for issues that won't land us a new world record, but are just as important (really) such as security, poverty, employment, and education.
